Bamboo agent as proxy

James Tanis

We are extending our use of Bamboo from a CI tool to a continuous deliverty tool. We have the standard 3 environments, Dev/QA, staging, and production. For security purposes we do not wish to permit production processes to communicate with DevQA directly. The Bamboo server runs in DevQA and we have remote agents running in all 3 envs. I was wondering if it might be possible to use the remote agent running in staging to proxy the connections from the remote agent in production?

Hmm, you could set up two tunnels pairs (e.g. using SSH): a pair from prod to staging and a pair from staging to QA.

The tunnel pair should forward the JMS port (default 54663) and the HTTP port under which Bamboo is visible.

But at the end this would mean that you would have some kind of access from QA to prod (on two ports), so maybe it would be easier to allow QA-prod communication between these two ports on the firewall?
